About Me
Hello and Thanks for Visiting,
Here’s a little about me:
My first exposure to piano was lessons for a school year around the age of 11. Then I became a rebellious teenager and took up guitar and cigarettes, thought myself a badass, and joined a rock band. Around the age of 17, I came back to my roots and started dabbling on the piano again. It's always been a true passion of mine, and it's the only passion that has never left me.
My favorite part of music is when I'm in the process of creating something. An idea is rolling around in my head incessantly and I find myself needing to express it, compulsively almost. As they develop and transform, I'm immersed in the music, washing over me, gushing out of me. Those fleeting moments of creating are just bliss.
Over the past 20 years I have written 3 albums of solo piano. Dialogue was released in December of 2023. Abject was released February 2024, and Pushing Buttons will be released on December 6th. They each have their own unique flavor. Dialogue is the early work, the simpler, happier pieces that are generally more upbeat. Abject is dark and angry, compelling and mysterious. Pushing Buttons is a bit experimental, engaging, and surprising.
This project of releasing prior work has evolved into producing videos as well. It wasn’t long after releasing Dialogue that I realized that social media is key, and having content for that in video form is huge. Many instrumentalists will feature themselves playing, but not anything else. I wanted to try something different and more story based, so for Abject I created a set of videos using mostly AI video clips. For Pushing Buttons, I am aiming for a higher level of production, and using close to no AI. Some of these will feature me performing, and others will be more story based in various forms.
I hope you enjoy the music! Please share with those you know – it’s huge for me. Thanks!
